1. Immune response

   An immune response is a reaction which occurs within an organism for the purpose of defending against foreign invaders. These invaders include a wide variety of different microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi which could cause serious problems to the health of the host organism if not cleared from the body. There are two distinct aspects of the immune response, the innate and the adaptive, which work together to protect against pathogens. The innate branch—the body's first reaction to an invader—is known to be a non-specific and quick response to any sort of pathogen. Components of the innate immune response include physical barriers like the skin and mucous membranes, immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and monocytes, and soluble factors including cytokines and complement. On the other hand, the adaptive branch is the body's immune response which is catered against specific antigens and thus, it takes longer to activate the components involved. The adaptive branch include cells such as dendritic cells, T cell, and B cells as well as antibodies—also known as immunoglobulins—which directly interact with antigen and are a very important component for a strong response against an invader.The first contact that an organism has with a particular antigen will result in the production of effector T and B cells which are activated cells that defend against the pathogen. The production of these effector cells as a result of the first-time exposure is called a primary immune response. Memory T and memory B cells are also produced in the case that the same pathogen enters the organism again. If the organism does happen to become re-exposed to the same pathogen, a secondary immune response will kick in and the immune system will be able to respond in both a fast and strong manner because of the memory cells from the first exposure. Vaccines introduce a weakened, killed, or fragmented microorganism in order to evoke a primary immune response. This is so that in the case that an exposure to the real pathogen occurs, the body can rely on the secondary immune response to quickly defend against it.

1. immune response

   The immune response is a complex biological system of defense mechanisms that the body uses to recognize and defend itself against foreign substances, pathogens, and harmful elements such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites or damaged cells like cancerous cells. It involves various cells, organs, and proteins, and has two main types: innate (non-specific) and adaptive (specific) immunity. These responses allow the body to attack and eliminate harmful substances, remember past diseases for faster response in the future, and maintain overall health.

Examples of immune response in a Sentence

1. David Holtzman:

   The brain has its own immune response to the pathology that's involved in [ Alzheimer's ] disease progressing, when there are other things that cause inflammation that are in the body that can affect the brain, likely what happens is that can even amplify the process that's already going on.

2. Daniel Weimer:

   They do a bunch of things, one thing they can do is eat up foreign things, whether they be bacteria or viruses or just particles that have drifted down into the lungs. They can act as scavengers that present these particles to the immune system to activate an immune response.

3. Anthony Fauci:

   Our experience with variants such as the Delta variant is that even though the vaccine isn't specifically targeted to the Delta variant, when you get a high enough level of an immune response, you get spillover protection, even against a variant that the vaccine wasn't specifically directed at, that's the reason why we feel even though we don't have a lot of data on it, there's every reason to believe that that kind of increase that you get with the boost would be helpful, at least in preventing severe disease of a variant like Omicron.

4. Monica Gandhi:

   We're going to give them a teeny bit of virus and they're going to get just a teeny bit sick and then they'd develop an immune response -- and it totally worked.

5. Scott Brakenridge:

   There is other evidence that the virus really doesn't generate a strong immune response and actually it is suppressing the immune system.
